Astonishing Success.

1t is the duty of every person
who has used Boschee's German
Syrup to let its wonderful quail
ties be known to their friends in
curing consumption, severe coughs
Group, asthma, pneumonia, and in
fact all throat and lung diseases.
No person can use it without i'm
mediate relief. Three doses will
relieve any case, and we consider
it the duty ofal Druggists to rec
ommend it to the poor, dying con-
sumptiye, at least to try one bottle
as $4,000 dozen bottles were sold
last year, and no one case where it
failed was reported. Such med
icine as the German Syrup cannot
be too widely known. Ask your
druggist about it. Sample bottles
to try sold at 10 cents. Regular
size, 70 cents. Sold by all Drug
gists and dealers, in the United
States and Canada. %

Enterprise n Texas.

j Californian has discovered as
he claims, and old Mexican mine
of silver and gold in Hoover's val
ley, Burnett county. Old and
abandoned mines in San Saba Co,
near by, and in Llano county are
mentioned in the early Tex. history
But no great expectations can be
built upon these recent discoveries.
That section of the state, however,
may reasonably expect to enjoy a
boom and lasting prosperity from
the development of other resources
of vastly more utility and real val
he 10 the country than a bonanza
of the precious metals would con-
fer. The iron of that district is
unquestionably of the finest quail
ty and is accessible in the greatest
abundance. 1t is believed that
coal of good quality has been found
but this is not yet established.
The granite and marble are of
great value and abundant. On
the Colorado river at Marble falls
and above and below that point
water power sufficient to turn the
wheels of all the factories of New
England is available to enterprise.
AT this time there are at least two
lines of railway projected to the
granite beds and Marble falls, and
to the iron and coal fields of that
district. The Farmers Alliance of
Texas, with a membership of 25O,-
900, and perhaps all available cap
ital of not less than S50,000,000,
have formed the project of estab-
fishing manufactures at the falls,
having purchased the water power
there, and it is now understood
are preparing plans and making
arrangements to utilize their pur-
chase. Their movement is this
enterprise certainly deserves sue
cess, and is a commentary upon
the want of enterprise of the mer-
chant class, the capital class, and
all classes that usually claim mo-
nopoly of foresight, enterprise,
energy and activity. On the 18th
of this month they have a grand
meeting at Burnet and the Falls,
when their plans are expected to
be developed, and by that timo the
railway projects viii probably take
definite Shape. They have laid off
a city, established ground plots for
churches and schools, and sites
for mills and factories. All this
looks like business. If the ALI
ance builds up a great manufae-
turing city contiguous to an iron
city, and city of workers and |
mechanics devolying in The gran
lite deposits, why may not Falls
city, Tex, outstrip Birmingham, |
and eventually, Pittsburg? Birm-
ingham and Pittsburg have iron
and coal, but the Texas paper
town has these together with IN
limited water power, unsurpassed
building material, a gold and sill
yer tradition, and all around a fine
agricultural country. The status
of the alliance enterprise will be
better known on the 18th, when
the meeting takes place, but as
suredly it looks fair enough now.

Treatment Of Prisoners.
S. E. Moss.

The state of California is trying
an interesting experiment in the
treatment of prisoners with view
Of securing their reformation. I.
has established the Folsom state
prison among the hills near the
head of the American river. The
scenery is fine, the air pure, and
the water excellent The convicts
are chiefly employed in quarrying
and dressing granite. The build
ing does not essentially differ
from prison structures in most OF
the northern states. 1t is roomy,
safe and substantial. 1t has the
customary cells, baths and arrange
ments for securing ventilation.
The inmates have their hair crop
ped and wear the usual distinc-
tive prison garb, which assures
their arrest if they make an es-
cape.
1t is in the matter of supplying
food that this prison differs from
others. The convicts, when they
first arrive, as well as those who
show little inclination to work OF
a disposition to be VICIOUS, are sup
piled with rather poor fare, con-
sisting largely of boiled beans, salt
meat, cabbage, common bread and
coffee served without milk. If moi
within sight of where this coarse
fare is served, there is within smell
of it another on which fresh beet
and mutton, various kinds of vege-
tables, rice and ON Sundays, cake,
syrup and tea are placed. The
convict learns that he can sit at
this table and enjoy the food there
on if he works diligently and faith
fully, conducts himself properly
and gives little trouble to the war
den and his assistants. He also
learns that those who sit at this
table are allowed considerable lib
erty, and are permitted to take
walks after every. meal
The desire to sit at this table is
great. Men who do not like to
work enjoy good living, and are
generally willing to be at consider
able pains to secure it. The in
mates of this penitentiary ordina-
rily adopt such a course as enable
them TO sit at the better table
within few months of their en-
trance. When taking their first
breakfast at it they perceive the
odor of beef-steak, mutton chops,
hot rolls, and fine coffee that pro-
ceeds from an adjoining room.
2hey learn that there are roast
beef and mutton, salads and pud-
lings there for dinner, while for
supper there are steaks, chops,
fried potatoes, tea and several
kinds of fruit. The price of ad-
mission to this table is strict at
Iention to business, respect for all
rules and regulations, and the con-
slant observance of propriety.
The food comes high, but most of
the convicts are anxious to obtain
it, and many of them do.-Ex.

The alligator, which has been nearly
exterminated in many localities, exists
in vast numbers in the Everglades and
environs. In many places these ami
mails follow the canoe or other craft
penetrating the grassy streams. At
such times they resemble fotilla, and
are spoken of as ''hotilla of alliga-
tors" Sometimes they will approach
a canoe and '.nose" it with evident
curiosity. If in the path of the canoe.
or lying along its course. they will
dive under it and join the fiotilla in the
rear. They are totally oblivious to
firearms, and evidently take no notice
of their members which have been shot
and are writhing in death agonies. No
doubt adventurous spirits will some
day find here fertile field for alliga-
tOr-skins, which are now in fair de-
mand.

CURIOUS CLOCKS.
An Account Of Some Interesting Specimen
Of the Clock Makers Art.

An Account Of Some Interesting Specimens
Of the Clock Makers Art.
When the Emperor Charles V. of
Spain retired to the Monastery of St.
Yuste he took with him Torriano, his
clock-maker. in order to while away
the time by constructing the move
ments of clocks. So wonderful were
some of the pieces Of work which they
made that the monks would not be-
lieve any one except the devil had a
hand in them until the machinery was
shown to them by the ex-Emperor. 1t
was ordered by Charles that when he
should die all of these clocks should
cease ranning-and it is said to De q
fact that his orders were Obeyed.
Another King of Spain CAME to
Geneva to see clock which had been
made by Droz, merchant of that city.
Upon the clock were seated shep-
herd. negro and dog. As the hour
was struck the shepherd played upon his
flute, and the dog played gently at his
feet. But, when the King reached forth
to touch an apple that hung from tree,
under which the shepherd rested, the
dog flew at him and parked so furious
ly that a live dog answered him. and
the whole party left in haste. Ventur-
ing to return, one OF the courtiesr
asked the negro, in Spanish. what
time it was. There was no reply, but,
when the question was repeated in
French, an answer was given. This
frightened the courtier, who rejoined
his companions. and all of them voted
that the clock was the work of the evil
one.
Upon the belfry Of the Kauthaus, in
Coblcntz, there is the head of a giant
bearded and helmeted with brass. The
giants head is known as ''the man in
the custom-house, and whenever a
countryman meets citizen of Cob
lentz away from that place, instead of
saying "How are all our friends in
Coblentz ?" he asks ''How is the man
in the custom-house?" At every stroke
of the bell which sounds the hours upon
the clock the mouth of the giant opens
and shuts with great force, rs if it were
trying to say. in the words of Longfel-
low: thine was-Time is-Time is
past. Popular Science Monthly.
